Over the coming 12 days,DiS in partnership with Naim Audio's new wireless music system, mu-so^, will be submerging you in this year's Mercury Music Prize nominees.

Each day until the winner is announced on Wednesday 29th, we will be focussing your attention on one of this year's 12 nominees. There will be extended reviews, mixtapes, gear guides, in-depth interviews and a host of other Mercury prize related stuff. We also have a special competition planned, but before we start barking about the brilliance of fka Twigs (pictured), finding out more about all the weird and wonderful contraptions that Polar Bear used to make their record, discovering which era-redefining acts inspire Young Fathers or interrogating East India Youth over a warm ale, we've compiled a playlist on YouTube, RDIO and Spotify of this year's nominees so that you can flick through their best tracks and (re)acquaint yourself with each of them.
